Franklin
C45 Dynasty 14mm
Elongated14mmGen-3Thermoformed
The Franklin C45 Dynasty 14mm is a 14 mm elongated pickleball paddle with a thermoformed, T700 Carbon Fiber face. It generates average spin (45th percentile) with above-average power and well above-average pop. It has a heavier, head-leaning swing weight that favors power and plow-through over hand speed, but low twist weight, so off-center hits lose more pace. Overall it's a versatile all-court profile.
